Einstein’s Universe and the James Webb Telescope | Rogier Windhorst

Astrophysicist Rogier Windhorst takes us on a journey through the cosmos using the groundbreaking discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Learn how JWST’s infrared technology reveals hidden galaxies, stellar nurseries, and distant black holes, shedding light on questions like: How are stars and planets formed? and What role does cosmic dust play in the universe? Drawing from Einstein’s theories, Windhorst explores the power of gravitational lensing and our deep connection to the universe, reminding us that we are truly “made of stardust.” This engaging talk offers a glimpse into the cosmic circle of life and our place in it.
